    This boy’s parents sent him to College. Figured out a way to make it happen.

    Our community is filled with people who did not send their kids to college, did not try to get their kids to take schooling, good grades and reinforce that going to college was a goal they should try to achieve.

    Instead? A lot of them bought ATV’s, and guns, and lift-kits for their truck. Then? Didn’t try to solve the college thing for their kids. (“Hey. Not my problem. It’s their problem!”) Then they get mad at people who DID figure out how to get their kids in college, and when Donald Trump tells them that “those educated elites think they are better than you”…they absorb all that and get mad.

    Figure out how to get your kids into college and end this. Make a better liife for your kids.
